GAMOSA- The Cultural symbol of Assam state :

The Assamese Gamosa is one of the most recognizble cultural symbols of Assam. A piece of woven white cloth, it has intricate red motifs and borders, that are representative of Assam. Originally used as a towel, ('Ga' means body and 'mosa' means to wipe), the Gamosa has various uses today.

 As a symbol of respect it is gifted to a senior and guests are welcomed with it, However in domestic use it is used as a towel, as a waist-baned by BIHU dancers, as a head-wrap or Loin cloth by farmers, or as a cover for the holy books in the prayer room. The Gamosa is unique to Assam state and has no parallel in the rest of India.
